I am just wondering if the pixel 2 can do video out of the usb c. I believe its called "DP alt mode". The Pixel 1 was not about to do this over the usb c.
But for contrast the s8 can.
I have googled around and have not found an answer.
Thanks for any info.

I assume like the original pixel, it does not have VESA DisplayPort Alternate Mode, so there are no wired options for getting video out of a pixel 2?
oddly enuff I found an adapter here, though I do not think it will work with the pixel 2's

None of the Pixels can do video output via its USB C port.

Looking to purchase this. Wanted to get some other opinions on it or a different recommendation.
Nexus 6P, Pixel and Pixel 2 does not have USB C Display ability.

Well that's stinky thanks for the info.
More than stinks, it suxs!
Is video out possible through the USB-C port? I was always under the impression that the Pixel lacked this feature? Recently came across a thread indicating this is possible via DiplayLink Presenter app and docking station using the DisplayLink as well. Has anyone had any success with this or know if it does indeed work? If so, which docking station worked? Thanks in advance for any help.
My understanding is it's not supported with Pixel 2 XL's USB-c .. you could use Chromecast for wireless display mirroring though....

Thanks for the help, yeah I've been able to mirror with the chrome cast was just hoping to be able to do it without internet or using all my hot spot data allowance. Didn't want to waste money on the displaylink dock if it wasn't possible.
Hi All,
I have a Google Pixel 2, and when I am listening music, it CAN NOT Charge!
Can you guys recommend a slitter that you have used that you like to me？
First, welcome to the forums. Second, there's already a long thread with recommendations:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/accessories/listening-to-headphones-charging-t3687464
Third, have you considered cheap Bluetooth headphones? Or even just take a break from listening and top off your phone by charging for 30-60 minutes? You'll get to 60-80% battery I'm that amount of time. Just saying.

Thank your for your recomment
I already have bluetooth headphone, but i do not really like it.
So my friend suggested me buy a slitter that dual usb c, and he said usb c headphone sound great than 3.5mm jack earphone. I do not know that....so i really need some help.
Oh dual USB C is what you're asking for. The thread I linked for was to split to USB C and 3.5mm. Well USB C headphones are rare and really don't provide any improvements over 3.5mm headphones.

Oh, really? thank you for your suggestion.
And I look around on Amazon, I found someone is selling this adapter support dual usb c .
Em..Why I can not post the link on that?
Because you're too new to the forums. It's too prevent spam accounts. I think you can post links when you hit 10 posts.
Question for you is what USB C headphones are you even considering? All the best ones are either 3.5mm or Bluetooth.

Look at my first post you need both things it's a USB hub with USB c in for charging and 3 USB 3.0a you then turn one of the 3.0a in to a USB c and plug the USB c audio dongle in that came with the phone.
Also lol you don't want a slitter for your pixel 2 lol maybe for your inability to peace together information
Hi,
has there been any rumors about HDMI over USB so far?
If I am not mistaken, this functionality was disabled by Google in the previous pixel phones...
Good question but haven't heard anything yet...
It never was HDMI, it is DisplayPort. HDMI over USB C doesn't exist.
Please add fricking desktop mode to AOSP of Android(I mean native one not gimmick one at Dev Settings). Damn why this is soo hard? You just released a Car Android in it. Why you are not trying anything on desktop mode feature. You already have working framework and API's for it. Samsung, LG, Huawei, Moto using it. And it's working damn well with little mods these OEM makes. Please Google bring official desktop mode to Android phones.

I am no expert but it seem that it does:

HDMI Alt Mode for USB Type-C, HDMI Type C, HDMI type-c, HDMI Type-C connector, HDMI Type C connector, 4K, ARC, HEC, CEC,

Google Tensor: Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro to feature dual ARM Cortex-X1 and ARM Cortex-A76 cores, no DisplayPort Alt mode supported
According to a report, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will run on dual ARM Cortex-X1 and ARM Cortex-A76 cores, supported by four power-efficient Cortex-A55 cores. Both smartphones will support aptX, aptX HD and LDAC Bluetooth codecs, a feature of past Pixel smartphones. There will be no DisplayPort...

i tried a usb C to hdmi adapter on the regular pixel 6 today and no luck. i assume it's not going to work with the 6 pro, im going to try with a 6 pro when it gets delivered tomorrow. google hasn't added display out over usb in any of it's phones, I assume because they don't want to directly affect google cast sales

Thank you for trying this out.
It's just a shame considering how good a desktop mode could be looking at the implementations made by Samsung, Huawei and Motorola...
Yeh, we need this capability in today's world! Cheers

There's already a desktop mode, albeit it's very barebones on AOSP/Pixel phones...

Except it wouldn't affect Chromecast sales in most cases. It's a completely different use case - casting is mostly a very limited "play this media on this display" thing, and most people would still opt for a $50 dongle if it means they don't have to hook their phones up to the TV.
Whereas display output over a wired connection would be mostly used for desktop (partial) replacement, where a Cast dongle wouldn't work anyway.
